Oddly enough, yes. Which makes me wonder what, exactly, does the DNS-client
service do...?

See,
http://www.blackviper.com/WIN2K/win2...htm#DNS_Client

I think the DNS client service ends up trying to cache the entire hosts
file in memory. For large hosts file, this can chew up a lot of memory and
cause system slow downs.
